technikswd Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Besten Dank Daniel! ? really amazing Profiles ? Quote
flanker Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 great guide, now saved as pdf on my disk Im without A2, but I would like to try it this year. I hope uncle Frank help me with A2 ? Quote
sabishiihito Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 55 with these means add more VDIMM, right? Quote

l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Magic profile + Dani =Magic results! Awesome write-up Dani Quote
marco.is.not.80 Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 Wow, thanks DC! Sharing the profiles and having them available in the Asus BIOS - can't tell you how appreciative I am! Quote
shar00750 Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Great work !!! thank you for this , now I can try to push mine more (low bin) ? Edited October 10, 2019 by shar00750 Quote
Dancop Posted July 13, 2019 Author Posted July 13, 2019 Who of you guys tested one of these profiles? Please put some geeks and 32ms in here! Quote
Guest Digg_de Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I would but i dont have A2 and my old A1 dont work very well with this Profile. What Kit could i buy with guaranteed A2 on it.. cheapest? Quote
technikswd Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Some new options in this great Bios available: Max RTT_WR [ODT Off] Firmware Configuration [Test] Type C Support [Platform-POR] Boot Sector (MBR/GPT) Recovery Policy [Local user control] Edited July 13, 2019 by technikswd Quote
5erveD Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Thanks for the info/guide. Will check this out later! Quote

marco.is.not.80 Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Guys, can someone please define "A2" because from what I know there is "A0" which many people seem to identify as "A1" and then there is "A1" which gets called "A2" based on A0 being called A1 and then there is the real A2 which I'm not sure if this BIOS is for THE real A2 or for A1 which gets called A2 incorrectly? I believe I only have A0 and one stick of the real A2 which I believe the last version of the Galax HOF kit was A2 based on the layout I have comparing it to the description I read on r/overclocking (see below): Quote PCBs Memory PCB can affect overclocking characteristics and compatibility. Presented here is a list of standard PCB layouts and what is known about them. Please note: there is a lot of confusion about what is A0 and what is A1, with a lot of people incorrectly referring to A0 PCBs as A1. Keep in mind that PCB information reported in thaiphoon burner or other SPD reporting tools may not be accurate as it relies on the SPD being programmed correctly. Single Rank (single-sided) with standard ICs A0 A0 is the original single rank layout designed for JEDEC (stock) speeds up to DDR4-2133. It can be identified by having 8 normal ICs on one side that are rougly evenly spaced, with the SPD chip right in the middle if you're peeking under a heatspreader from the contacts side. A0 PCB is also known as the "non-RGB PCB" as it's used on G.Skill non-RGB single rank kits up to DDR4-4266 (and older, now-discontinued non-RGB 4266+ kits). People often mistakenly call this PCB "A1", to the point that if you see an overclocker talk about "A1 PCB" they probably mean A0. This is the best PCB for running extreme b-die profiles/presets aimed at 4000-4133 12-12-12 or 12-11-11. Not because it's a better PCB, but because it has better compatibility with 2-DIMM boards. A1 A1 is designed for JEDEC (stock) speeds up to DDR4-2400, and is shared with the ECC D1 PCB. This means that on non-ECC modules you will see an empty pad for a 9th IC. This is normal and part of the design; it does not mean the PCB is being used improperly. Compatibility is a bit of an unknown as vendors popular with overclockers don't use this PCB, but it has been tested with 4Gbit Samsung E-die from OEM kits and Crucial Ballistix and is certainly capable of at least DDR4-4266 CL19. Identifying A1 vs A2 A1 looks similar to A2 under the heatspreaders - the ICs are in two groups, one on each side. There are a few 'tells'; A1 has the SPD chip on the front, next to an IC, and no components on the back. A2 has the SPD chip and some smd components on the back. Both A1 and A2 have a single SMD capacitor by the notch. On A1 the edge of this is pretty much lined up with the edge of the notch, on A2 it's offset by a good 1-2mm. A1 has unpopulated pads for SMD conponents supporting the 9th IC along the bottom edge that may be visible between the heatspreader and contacts. A2 A2, also known as the "RGB PCB" as G.Skill use it on their RGB kits as well as more recent (at time of writing - early May 2019) non-RGB >4266 kits, is the latest (as of early May 2019) standard single rank PCB layout and is targeted at JEDEC (stock) speeds up to DDR4-2666. It's a very good PCB that's sadly best known for compatibility issues with 2-DIMM socket 1151 boards, especially the Asus Apex series - on which it needs CL of 19 or above for DDR4-3866+. It should be stressed that problems doing tight timings on the A2 PCB are about compatibility not quality - on 4-DIMM socket 1151 boards it works great. If you're trying to do really extreme settings on A2-based b-die and having trouble, making sure XMP is enabled will often alleviate the problems. You should also look for a more recent bios that may improve compatibility. A2 is identifiable by having all the ICs crammed tightly into two clusters, one on each side. The gap between the clusters is huge - about as big as the width of a cluster. If you're not sure which single rank 8-chip PCB you have, check the section above on A1 vs A2. 1 Quote
GtiJason Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Yes you are right on the A0 being called A1, but A2 is A2 as we've come to know it. A1 isn't really used on OC dimms as it's used mainly for ECC and OEM's 1 Quote

So, A0 = A1 and A2 is really A2 which means that my Galax HOF set is A2 because the gap between the clusters is exactly as described above. Wonder why I couldn't get Dancop's profile to work... At least I know I'm working with A2 now so I don't have to worry I'm putting effort into something that isn't. Thanks! 1 Quote
Guest Digg_de Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 The Thaiphoon Burner is reading A1, too. Quote
ground Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Don't trust the PCB information in the SPD, they are wrong a lot of the time. Rather peak under the heatspreader to confirm the IC layout. Alternatively you can check with this. Quote

Yes i like the way to detect A1/A2 with that method from Bruno cause i dont have to install the Memory. Quote
miker2ka Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) Atm i can't boot 4666c14 ... CPU on water, room temp 25C, CPU idle around 33C @Dancop btw, on what bios version is your apex bios based on? Edited July 18, 2019 by miker2ka Quote
miker2ka Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 After big struggle i managed to boot 4666 and run gb3 @ 4740... 4700 bot is no go. Quote
sabishiihito Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Not having much success myself with the profiles. It seems like I did better on older BIOS just entering everything by hand. Quote
